Why? What’s the point................................. We have heard everyone’s opinion a multitude of time and to what end. As before it is counterproductive to demean someone especially if they can't defend themselves mono un mono. I say this not in defense of anyone or vendor, but common civilized respect of each other. Have I been disappointed or unhappy with a product I have bought from a vendor or 914 classifieds several times over the years? Yes. I think the rules here cover such descent right? That’s my Vote!


Yeah, I don't see it that way. I was ripped off by AA fifteen years ago. In that fifteen years I've seen this board come into being. People come and go all the time, so most of the original guys are gone and everyone else here is new. If no one tells all the new folks of the bad experiences everyone else has had it's almost guaranteed that every one of them will learn that same lesson the hard way.

Now you could argue that's the best way to learn, that pain is the best teacher, that George needs to make a living or some such nonsense, but that's just bullshit. Everyone who comes to these forums comes to learn new things from other people who've done it before, who've made mistakes and learned from them, and now know the right way to do it. We all need to learn, and that's why everyone is here. We all want to avoid as much of that learner's pain as possible, which is natural and sensible. If you can't impart some of the knowledge you've assimilated over the years then why are you here, anyway? Help out the new guys, LET THEM KNOW when they're about to step in a hole. You learned from others, now it''s your turn.

That means, as distasteful as it might be, we have to go through these collective Automobile Atlanta and Steve Stromberg rants occasionally, so that knowledge is available to the new guys. That's the natural order of things, the messy way human beings add to the collective wisdom. If you have a suggestion or some other alternative, that's great, offer it up. Otherwise hold your nose, ignore the mob, the pitchforks and torches, and go on to some other thread. We're human beings and we sometimes do bad things to protect our own. But it has to be done.
